Being persecuted for what you are or believe is read as feeling unsafe in being yourself. Tradition takes the dream as pressure to conform, or as a fear of being judged for something deeply held.
Has this come up in your dreams before? What was going on in your life then?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
